Hi guys! I have some problem with USB ports. I want to disable them when pc is in sleep, there is no utility to do it from windows 8, eco utily, hw config (in-bios setup), i cant see this setting anywhere. I also changed the power plan, but it neither works. So i wanted to acsess bios and set up it there. But in the morning, i was able to enter bios before windows starts, by pressing three key (F10+F11+F12 ) i ran boot order and clicked enter setup. USB sleep and charge was turned to disable, i said ok, i will try, i put pc to sleep, but my cooling pad still was cooling my pc and making noise , i went away for two hours, and i tried to access bios setup and try to change or check setting again, but now, i am not able to change BIOS setup by no key (i read that the needed key is F2 or F12) but i tried it at least 10 times with and withou Fn, also before a i pressed power on button, but i cant acsess bios setup. Can you help my with my general problem, to disable usb sleeps and charge in bios, or by ani in-windows toshiba utility? I cant find any utility for my toshiba laptop. Excuse my english

Windows 8.x does not shut down completely by default. (It hibernates the Windows kernel instead.) But you need it to do so in order to reach the UEFI (BIOS) on boot.
You can shut down completely by holding down the Shift key when you click Shut down.
When you Restart Windows, it shuts down completely.
This shortcut will shut down completely.
   shutdown /s /t 0
This shortcut will restart Windows.
   shutdown /r /t 0
You can access the UEFI directly from Windows this way.

Toshiba USB Sleep and Charge causes s3 wake issues

Toshiba Satellite P500-ST6844
PSPGSU-0Q2012
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
I have posted before about an issue with my laptop not waking from sleep properly, (see here)
basically my problem is this:
I put the laptop to sleep and everything appears to go normally. but when i go to wake the system up, the Toshiba boot logo is shown, and i have lost my windows session. the system acts like it is cold booting, except for a 30 second pause following the boot logo. Just to be clear, once my windows is up and running again my session is not restored, so my system has not gone into hibernation. this issue does not affect hibernation mode. Hibernation mode works perfectly. Only taking out the battery and unplugging the machine and then pressing the power button for 30 secs. seems to alleviate the issue. but the issue always seemed to return. after much trial and error, I have narrowed down the cause of the issue. if the Toshiba USB Sleep and charge feature is used, the sleep problem is triggered, even if the sleep and charge port is not being used. This issue occurs even in a clean state (clean from a factory restore using restore media). this sleep issue has been occurring since i bought the laptop in 2010, but it has been only in the last 2-3 months that i have been able to narrow down the exact trigger for the issue.
I have updated to the latest version of the sleep and charge app for my laptop, but this does not seem to help any. the issue does not seem to be triggered by just activating or deactivating the USB sleep and charge feature in bios, but using/configuring the sleep and charge feature using the Toshiba application in windows, does.
I don't know if this is indicative of a bios, software, utility, hardware, or power supply issue. I am hoping some one here might have an answer for me, or at least point me in the right direction on where i can go from here.

this behavior even occurs in a "factory fresh state" - (restored from OS recovery media). In that state, only toshiba stuff is installed..
Sounds like you found a bug.

A305 - Sleep and Charge problems

I have a 2 week old Toshiba A305 satellite laptop.
Ever since I bought it from bestbuy, I could not get the sleep and charge feature to work. I am trying to charge a Blackberry Pearl (cell phone) or a Sidekick LX (cell phone). I tried it when the laptop was in sleep and even when shutdown. Neither has worked.
I have already tried reading the PDF file about sleep and charge found here:
http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/productcontents/tecra/PTM91C-TG109C/HAN-GM9024708110_E.pdf
Still does not work.
I also tried changing the USB Sleep and charge mode between mode 1 and 2 and neither mode will fix it.
Can anybody help?

I could not get the sleep and charge feature to work.
That may be a setting in the BIOS. Check it out.
Otherwise, upgrade the BIOS.

Cannot deactivate "Sleep and charge" option

I cannot deactivate the "Sleep and charge" option. I do not need it and it perturbs the functioning of my scanner. Apparently one should have two types of USB ports: ones with the "lightening" sign (used for the "Sleep..." options) and normal ones. I have on the left of my Satellite laptop two black ports and on the right two blue ports.
I cannot find the "lightening" sign anywhere and the Sleep ..." icon appears every time I plug in the scanner; this happens for all 4 ports. I have entered the "Sleep..." Set up menu and try to deactivate this option but it does not work. I have tried to uninstall the "Sleep..." option, but it does not appear on the list of programs one can uninstall.
One should be able to eliminate completely options that one does not need, but I cannot manage it.

Hi Dan
Sleep and charge option can be disabled in BIOS settings. Have you tried to do this already?

Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

Can the USB cord and charging plug be used interchangeably between iPad Air and Pad mini?

I have a new iPad air and a new iPad mini. Both seem to have the same white USB cable, but the charging plug adapters are different sizes. Can they be used interchangeably with each other? In other words, can I use the Air adapter to charge the Mini without a problem and vice versa?

The charger that comes with the iPad Air is 12 watts while the one that comes with the standard mini is 5 watts. As Kappy mentioned, the higher wattage charger (12 watt) can be used with both. If you try to use the 5 watt charger with the iPad Air, you'll likely get a Not Charging message. It may still charge but it will be very slow and it's not really recommended.
The cables themselves are identical, no issue there.

Iphone 3g usb sync and charging problem

After resetting 5 authorization process, i could not charge my phone again from computer via usb.

Hi all,
I have new satellite U500-PSUME9 that works fine except usb sleep & charge utility. Sorry if I ask stupid question amn't compter qualified person
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi,
1. You should enable usb sleep & charge in BIOS
2. As I know, usb sleep & charge is only available for USB ports marked with a small flash sign.

Ipad 2 won't charge from ipad charger, but will sync and charge from USB!

Hi
I have been having some issues with charging my Ipad 2 and have searched the internet but can't find a solution.
I can charge and sync my ipad from my computer but it will not charge from the mains charger (2 amp) provided with the ipad. - Therefore there is no problem with either the lead or the pins on the ipad
I know the cable works as it is the one i am using to sync to the PC. The charger also works to charge my iphone. - Therefore no issues with the charger.
I have rebooted the ipad.
I have also restored the ipad back to its orignal settings and restored a back up from Itunes.
All so far have had no effect on using the charger to charge the ipad.
Perhaps a trip to the Istore is the only option?
thanks

Take your iPad, cable & charger to the Apple Store.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Sleep and Hibernate does not work after BIOS update X1 Carbon 20A8

As subject title, did a recent Lenovo "System Update" on BIOS and other drivers, and since then sleep and hibernate no longer works, when i close the lid, it turns on by itself after 2 seconds.
When i select Sleep or Hibernate in Windows 8.1 with lid open, it just behaves like a Restart command.
Need this fixed! Any ideas?

Try downgrading to your older BIOS and see if it works again.

hi there, I need help ..

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
